Exchange Visitor

An Exchange Visitor is someone who temporarily travels to another country for cultural and educational exchange. This program, often associated with visas like the J-1 visa in the United States, allows individuals—such as students, researchers, or professionals—to gain experience and share knowledge in a new environment. The goal is to promote mutual understanding and cultural exchange between different nations. Participants often engage in specific programs linked to education, work, or research, returning home with new skills and insights that benefit both themselves and their communities.
